Ganapathi -Embossed in a copper sheet

                       

This is a simple metal embossing done on a copper sheet and later stained to give a burnished effect.

LORD GANESHA is  highly adaptable to any art form and he aptly fits in this work too.



Procedure

Draw or trace the outline of the design.

Place the sheet in s heavily quilted surface and work over the outlines with an embossing tool to get the shape.

Now,raise the parts of the design till you get the desired level of embossing.

Hammer dots with an ice breaker to get the dots in the back ground.

Dry and frame it.
